Description

Umm, some imaginary person gave me this key to promote myself whatever this is. So be sure to blah blah blah, etc.

Nobody's reading this stuff anyway. I should just put the links to the other giveaways so your script can find them.

Oh, did you say other giveaways? Yeah, sorta. But you might have to work for them. Sorry.

Other Giveaways?!

Good luck! :)


I assume this is (or will be) fun, but I also assume it's going to be cheaper soonish... I'll grab a copy for myself then. For now, you can try to win the more expensive one. Hooray!

Hey, I read it! :P

I can't remember which Civilization game I enjoyed the most, but at this point it's old wine in new bottles... :) So I hope this is a fun game too... :)

Good luck! :)

Might take a while for it to be cheaper, if they think they're targeting an older audience.

I do hope it gets tweaked a bit further though, by the looks of it, people find it to be a bit incomplete. But it's a time period that gets so criminally overlooked in games & media that I can't help but be interested in it, even if the game is flawed.

I suppose niche stuff seldom gets a serious discount, but time will tell if this one's niche stuff or coming soon to a bundle near you... :)

The Pillars of the Earth and Tyranny are both in a Humble bundle right now, so I'd have to guess this game isn't any less bundly than those... Guess everything's bundled if you wait long enough... :)

Good luck! :)

Unfortunately from what i've seen, it's still got some work to be done, but still looks extremely interesting, and the setting/game style is one i enjoy, so i have high hopes for it :) thanks for the chance

Reading a reviewy thing, it sounds like interesting ideas but maybe some not-so-fun decisions were taken... Guess I'd have to play it to know for sure...

Good luck! :)

If it's anything like Civilization, that's probably a good idea... :) Just one more turn... :)

Thank you too, hope it goes well for you also! :) Somehow I blink and it's Sunday evening again...

Almost makes me want to play Crusader Kings II again, but it's been so long I'd spend all weekend learning how to play... :)

Hmm, when did you change your picture? Guess I haven't been paying attention... Good you're still around too... :)

Good luck! :)

I actually absented myself from SG for the most part a year ago, but enter the rare giveaway now and again.

I haven't played CK2 in an embarrassingly long time, myself. Even have DLC I never touched after buying, I should rectify that someday.

Peace.

Ahh, that sounds familiar, I bought some Paradox dlc myself recently, for games I haven't played in ages... :(

So if anyone ever wonders why they keep pumping out that stuff, it's all my fault. Sorry, everyone! :)

I do enjoy most of the Paradox strategy stuff, but I really do not enjoy the way they went full The Sims with their DLC. :(

It's not fun trying to wade through lists of "which DLC are the important ones, and which ones can I ignore" every time I think about getting back into one of their games. Just let me buy the whole game, please... But I think that ship has sailed... Oh well.

There are a lot of cosmetic ones that I will probably never buy, unless they all end up in a ridiculously cheap bundle like they did a few years ago with their initial "enhancement" DLCs.

I can recommend the Old Gods and The Reaper's Due for sure. And obviously there's DLC that came with a few versions of the base game.

It's on mine too, but most likely I'll wait a bit... And finally buy a copy right before it's bundled... :)

I once calculated my backlog. It said I need 120 years of playing 24/7, 365 days a year to complete all games. Never calculated it again :D

Those calculator things would be more useful if they crossed out everything that wasn't a game. :) So, like 90% of the current Steam store... :)

There's a script to find hidden GAs? 😀 That was a joke, I would never use a script like this. So you don't have to blacklist me for this

Apparently "ESGST" shows giveaway links or something, at least that's what someone mentioned when I had a suspiciously large group of people notice an obscure giveaway link in a random reply... So I assume that's what is going on anyway... :)

Oh, I don't bother with white or black lists, I just let the Steamgifts Dice roll... :)

Good luck! :)

Yeah, right now this sounds like it might be the sort of game where it's safer to wait for a discount... :) And what's better than a 100% discount? :)

Wow. It is expensive! And it doesn't even have trading cards!

Edit: Hmm. The "Post-release update plan" (https://steamcommunity.com/games/241000/announcements/detail/1720840241724740337) reads like a list of upcoming changes in an Early Access game. One wonders why this was released already if all of these things were unsuitable at release! :D

Hmm, indeed it doesn't... Ahh, and indeed it does... :(

I read a line somewhere, that this game was released not because it was finished, but because he was finished. Probably an exaggeration, but maybe for your own sanity at some point you need to declare victory and go home... Oh well...

Hope it's fun somehow or other, eventually... :)

Good luck! :)

Oh, I didn't enter. I read the reviews and realised that, assuming I did actually get around to playing it, I probably wouldn't like it very much.

I've had Civilisation VI sitting in my Steam account since it was in that Humble monthly last year. Stellaris is there, too, along with a heap of other "4X" games. I'll just play one of those if I have a hankering. Someone else can have the +1. ;)

But thank you for your generosity, as always!

Ahhh, I was too lazy to check, sorry... :( Sometimes I forget people aren't entering, just visiting... :) I probably wouldn't like this game as it currently exists, but it sounded interesting...

Maybe I should do more research before making a giveaway, in case it's not quite ready for prime time, but if I did that I wouldn't be able to give away much at all... Sigh...

Probably one day I'll think about this game and check the store page only to discover I already own it, from some bundle I can't remember buying...

Hmm, good luck in some other giveaway! :)

Haha, yes. Some of us stalk you, you know! "Oh look, fiftykyu has some more "invite only" giveaways. I wonder what devious puzzles I'll find today." and that sort of thing. This one was public, but I only noticed it because I was seeing how many hidden giveaways you had. So I thought I'd better take a look anyway. :D

I'm not sure research is required before making a giveaway, though maybe it would be good to make sure it doesn't have trading cards (to maybe reduce the bots a little? -- probably just wishful thinking). But I do think sometimes I should do more research before buying a game! Or at the very least check to make sure I don't already have it. Just last month I bought a steam key for a game on a great sale at a third-party site, only to have Steam tell me I already had it. sigh

Thank you! :)

Is Jon Shafer trying to be the new Sid Meier?

His name in front of the game, Civ meets Colonization style game. I suppose there are far more worse people than to imitate!

Well, better than the next John Romero I suppose... :)

I wouldn't be surprised if Sid Meier thought the whole "Sid Meier's blabla" was a bit silly, but who knows? :)

Hope this is fun, or at least I hope it's fun when the winner gets around to trying it... :)

Good luck! :)

I didn't buy one for myself yet, since after a bit of reading it looked like the sort of game where you should wait for a big discount or a surprise bundle appearance, or maybe just wait until it's finished... :) Probably going to be fun sooner or later, not sure it's quite there yet though... Oh well. :)
